As someone with an entire closet full of hoodies, I can say that they come in different weights; they not only keep the heat in, they also keep the heat OUT. 😂
I was the goth version as a teenager in Florida summer🤣 thick Tripp pants, combat boots, a hoodie, maybe fishnet gloves, waist length thick black hair🤣 idk how I didn't die
My older son wore the same type of outfit all year long. A hoodie and shorts. At least half of him was dressed appropriately no matter what time of year it was.
I see transplants down here in a hoodie and shorts in every weather condition and I'm vaguely confused and worried about them. Of course, those are as likely to be men in their forties as fifteen year olds.
@@porschepal7932 It's shorts in a Northern Winter. And that's completely accurate Tennis shoes, sweatshirt, and no gloves. That's a typical Northern teenager.
That's me right there. "Man I'm tired of being in the apartment" Open door "you know what I think I can relax on the couch for another however many days until December."
I've seen my roommate do this several times now. He'll walk to his car, look around for a moment, and walk back inside. About 30 minutes later, a delivery driver shows up with food.
@willdejong7763 I think we're more like off shoots of The Smart Ones. We're kinda like turtles, we poke our head out of our shells long enough to decide that actually going out into that heat is insanity before retreating back inside. 😂
As "the one from Texas" let me just give some context. If you're North/West of the Edwards Plateau, there if little to no humidity. And that lack of humidity makes all the difference. As long as you keep a hat on or stand in the shade, you can easily tolerate 90 degree weather and be just fine, especially when its breezy or windy. However, once the humidity goes up by at least 10% we all immediately start boiling alive and drowning in the air.
That's a very accurate way to describe it: drowning in the air. When living in Louisiana, I felt like I was trying to breathe through a wet washcloth while walking around in a sauna.
I've always appreciated with these types of skits that no matter how long you've been in the South, we can all mock the heat, humidity, and bugs. It was the first thing my family learned to mock when we moved here.
Ugh. The bugs. I camped a lot growing up and I've camped and hiked a bit as an adult, so I'm no stranger to the ourdoors and everything that comes with it. But I've never seen so many bugs til I moved South. And they don't die off in winter here wtf!!!
I've been a southerner all my life. And i can tell you; do not stop mocking the heat. It needs to be mocked and humiliated until it learns to calm tf down.
I'm the Southerner who says to people from the North, "You think it's hot *now*? You're going to die in July and August." (Usually said to someone in April or May.)
Here in Austin since were have a bunch of tourists come in March for South by, the radio stations started playing PSAs that say "Don't move here. You may think it's nice now, but just wait 'til it's 100 for 50 days straight" or "Austin in March is nice, but the heat index in July averages 115, you'll want to go home before that hits."
As someone who has worked in a factory with a Hot Melt extruder running in the summer in Corinth, Mississippi...those Warehouse guys are correct, the lack of breeze is a problem... Of course, having a giant chunk of metal being actively heated to several hundred degrees in an enclosed space with no breeze is worse.
Factories in the Deep South used to use "swamp coolers" in the summer. Like the name says, they made it feel like a swamp indoors. Also a good source of legionella.
Serviced electric forklifts for a number of years in my 20s. I've basically worked in every warehouse condition you can think of. From metal foundries to cold storage sometimes in a single day. That was worse than anything. Get used to one extreme and an hour later you go to the other end of the scale.
The worst for me was maintenance days cleaning blenders in a wood mill in Georgia. Not only did you have to wear jeans, but also a tyvek suit, steel toe shoes, a respirator, a hardhat, and leather gloves, then jackhammer wax inside a 30ft x 10ft diameter metal drum for 8 hours.
i know some farmers here in east tennessee that do not have a/c in their house. and they do not want it. they say it would make them too soft. when a 80 year old man can outwork just about anyone in the summer heat, buddy thats tough
Going outside isn't so bad when you don't have AC. You've gotta stay acclimated. If you live outside as the seasons change you just stay used to it like the frog in boiling water example. Similarly, Cold isn't so cold if that's the temperature you're used too.

And in Alabama summer I have to take a couple of coolers when I go grocery shopping. Just to get my frozen stuff back home still cold especially the ice cream! And I just live a couple of miles from a grocery store!
I wish mosquito would leave me a lone, hearing misquto is like a annoying hearing test in your ear 😂 but i got a thernacell to keep them away well until you run out of fuel refills then it's back to off spray & gel, however you do it just do it cus they win't leave you alone.
I got tore up by mosquitoes in 1978 when I was 6 years old one night at a lake. Have not been bit by a mosquito since. (I don't think I taste good any longer)
I feel it. I'm a mosquito buffet. I always get swarmed. Most people seem to be somewhere in the middle where they get bit but not as much as me. Every once in awhile there's that person who just seems completely untouched. And I hate them. It must have something to do with sweat/breath chemistry cause that's how they locate you.
Brings back memories of coming inside and standing in front of the (only) window AC with my shirt lifted slightly to catch the breeze and just standing there trying to return to a normal temp and breathing dry(er) air.
"Watched a man melt once." LOL. I am the one that all the bugs want to bite. Me. I bring all the stinging biting insects to the yard. So I go with the one that said "go outside? where the sun lives?" If it get cloudy. With a wind. And the humidity is low. WAY low. I might go out.
I also get eaten alive by Mosquitoes!! But I have a theory…. I drink a lot of sugary drinks (esp. TX Sweet tea!) while my husband NEVER uses sugar. He only drinks water or plain tea! He has NEVER ever been bitten by a mosquito while we’ve been married. Not once! (And he will mow in June-Aug. at 6am when the grass is full of mosquitoes with the dew, NOT one bite!) We are in Houston, Tx (mostly) … Do you drink sugary drinks too?? 🧐
@@cavlizzy Not really and I get eaten all the time. I've read that it is a combination of things that attract mosquitoes to a person. Everything from the carbon dioxide we breathe out, to our skin microbes, skin temperature, emission of ammonia from our bodies, and other odors we emit. When combined, some of us smell like a feast to mosquitoes. Also, certain mosquitoes are attracted more to humans and others more to animals. So, which kinds of mosquitoes are in the area play a role, too. I guess that I must smell like a walking Luau party to them since they like to swarm me.
A Texan here. And yep that's true. We laugh at people complaining that 90 in low humidity is hot. Heck low humidity at all is like a vacation in the arctic for us. Our heat indexes have been over a 100 for that last month and summer hasn't officially started yet
One thing that always prompts me to give a "Bless Your Heart" - when I see someone driving around in the summer in a black car, with dark colored leather seats....
I drive a black Jeep Wrangler. Let me tell you, those panels on top that you can take off do very little to insulate the inside of that vehicle. They can get almost as hot to touch as the steering wheel.
I feel this to my core. I am a walking blood bank for all things that bite. I mean if i am in a 100 yard radius of you then you wont be bitten but i will as of right now i got like 25 bites and i was only outside for a few hours working on my car with my husband. The heat we are south Georgia and the devil comes here for vacation the even made a sound about it. Such a good video and very relatable.
My dad was The Grandpa. 😁 We also did not have air growing up. I was asked what I wanted for high school graduation and I received it - a window air conditioner. Great gift! I will say that absolutely having all buildings, houses and cars being air conditioned has ruined us all.
Just this past Memorial Day weekend, my husband took the kids to his dad's house in Indiana. The weather was actually pretty nice outside; pretty cool in the mornings. When I asked the kids how they slept, they said, TERRIBLE! It was almost 90 degrees in the house and Grandpa wouldn't let us open the windows or turn down the thermostat! My husband said it was probably 20 degrees cooler outside but his dad would not adjust the heat. One of my kids said he fell asleep while watching a movie and when he woke up he was drenched in sweat. 😂
Didn't have a/c in the house till I was around 10 ( born in the 70's ) a single window unit in the kitchen, before then we had an attic fan. We would turn that sucker on and open all the windows in the house , was real nice at night, during the day even a hot breeze is better than none.
Forgot about the one that work in the old school kitchens. You don't know hot until you work with the 400 degree ovens. Sneak into the walk in cooler to take a breath of air.
Especially when the air conditioner breaks from overheating. Though, you don't know fresh air until you hop into the walk-in freezer! I actually work in a kitchen that the main portion was built in the 1950s.
we insisted our new car has cooling seats!! game changer 🙌. And Matt.....that country crock hat and that 1970s/80s brown chair (that makes me sweat looking at it) is cracking me up!!
Same here in Georgia…I lived in so cal for 64 years. Never experienced humidity like this here in Georgia. I can handle 100° in so cal, no problem. 80° with humidity here kicks my butt. And, every insect that bites finds me in seconds…my version of Dante’s rings of hell 😂😂😂😂😂 But I can say it’s really beautiful here, when it isn’t raining….😂😂❣️❣️
My parents gave me a computer for Christmas 1982. I decided then to make this my profession. Hence, I’m with the smart one, staying inside. But I paid my due with the warehouse worker on my way to where I am now. I don’t ever want to do that again; yet, I’m humbled with gratitude for those that still do. Making sure your family is taken care of, they may never know the suffering you deal with. May God bless each one with a cool breeze each day.
Atari 2600 and the Tandy 4 from the Radio Shack sealed the deal for me. Later…the TRS-DOS 80 confirmed I’d made the right decision. Although learning Fortran almost made me doubt…for a minute in the late 80s.
My father is a mechanic, and he used to work in a shop in Southeastern NC that didn't have air conditioning. (97-degree crazy-humid day next to hot machinery? Awesome.) Also: the Country Crock hat. 💯
You know that part in Lilo and Stitch where Pleakley encounters mosquitoes for the first time? Yeah, that's me the moment I step outside. My hubby never gets bit. Gonna have to get some of those hulk hands 👊😂
All of us in the Midwest aren't a whole lot different. Up here, there's always the person who claims that their "thermostat works just fine all the time," and they're never hot. They're the first to crank up the AC and then claim that it's" just for the company."
OMG! That Grandpa was so relatable. The thermostat is set on 82 in the peak of summer! I keep moving the temp down but he's on it immediately! It's actually cooler to sleep outside in the summer; at least there's a breeze.
@@margaretalbrecht4650 I 100% enjoy them. I laugh my ass off when I hear about them. Me over here living on just solar. I will never go back to paying an electric company for electricity.
I remember when I moved to Texas I was doing some yard work for my elderly neighbor and while I was on break she asked herself what the temperature was and she looked at the thermometer and went: "Oh it's only 80." I was baffled that someone would say 80 was a mild heat.... Today I'm sitting in my office and it's a nice comfortable 84. In the office.
* The Southern steel mill workers of South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas laugh maniacally, then pass out while first responders bring ice packs and squincher ice pops.
Same here, man... we joke about it, but at my job, it's 20 degrees hotter inside than outside. It's 91 atm outside, so that means it's 111 inside. What fresh hell is this.
Yea. This is accurate. I am from Texas and I tend to ware a jacket when it is less than 75 degrees. Because 80-85 is just a normal comfortable tempeture.
I welcome the storms. It's the only chance at cool air that we have. What I hate is where it's a big splat of rain and then the sun comes back to evaporate it all and it gets even more humid. But a high storm bringing the colder air down from the upper levels followed by a long drenching rain that cools everything off and lasts until the sun is low...that's a nice summer storm.
brother you do not know how pissed off i am right now i went to the beach at noon because they said rain at 2, and i wasn't there more than 15 minutes before it started pouring 😭
I grew up, and live, in Michigan. I went to Miami once in June. Once. I have to go to Vegas on business (yes, really) this July. It was a pleasure knowing “y’all.”
I love the Birmingham Southern College baseball t-shirt. Great touch and nice homage to their run in the DIII World Series after the school had closed for good.
I am both from Texas and the Smart One. I don't go out unless it's late evening or night, otherwise I'm indoors waiting for the seasons to change to the only other one available.
The Warehouse worker one got me. I'm a welder in a big shop, and with the amount of rain we've been getting in combination with the heat, it has been miserable
The one from Texas reminds me of my papaw 😂, he lived in Austin and loved to drive to the bucee’s in new braunfels and just and spend the day there, eat lunch and dinner and drive back to Austin around 7 pm. He once said he was friends with the bucee’s mascot and he saw passed out in the middle of the day 😂🤣
I'm the one from Texas, except I'm from Alabama and live in Virginia. I was literally just telling my husband yesterday that every time I go outside I still can't believe it's only 85. I truly enjoy the mild summers up here lol
I like the T-shirt Texas was wearing. I never hunted in Morris, but I used to catch a mess of fish there. I need to sneak up there and give Turkey Creek a try.
The country crock hat on the grandpa had me rolling!!! 😂 mee maw had a dozen of them containers in the fridge growing up and only one still had butter in it!!!!
Matt I just love you!!! Even when my day is like driving on a dirt road with hemorrhoids, I just watch one of your videos and it brightens my day right up!!!!
Aging Gen-Xer here, born and raised in Atlanta, GA. The house I grew up was built in 1969 and it didn’t have central A/C until I believe my senior year in high school. We had an attic fan, which was a marvel of Southern engineering. It only works in a room with a window open either before the sun comes up or after the sun goes down. Anytime else was basically a blast furnace. Never bothered Mom much. She grew up in Panama City. Without air conditioning.
OMG, I AM THE ONE WHO DON'T GET BIT! While on a short deployment to South America, I kept wondering why people were waving all the time. Turns out, they were swiping at bugs. 😂😂😂
You are brave disclaiming this. I’m the one who always gets bit and then uses the Hulk hands to the face of the people talking about how they never get bit 🤣
As a southerner who is DREADING mowing 5 yards this Saturday when it's 98 degrees, this hits too close to home. And no, I won't be that yard worker guy trying to act like it ain't that hot. I'm the dude who hasn't stopped sweating since 1992. I'm always drenched. Awesome job sir. So accurate.
I have been most of these at different parts of my life. Right now I'm the gadget guy. Went to bonnaroo music fest with a cooling towel, neck fan, and a little fan that clipped to my cot
The Grandpa one is spot on...and I'm the sweater that hasn't stopped sweating since March of 1992. And my son is the teenager with hoodie in summer...I don't understand it. We aren't even in the South, he has no real concept of hot and humid.
Texan here. I'd add the inexplicably cold hoodie guy. It'll be 105F at 100% humidity and he's got that hoodie up and his hands in the pouch. Heavy blue jeans and a cap. Where is this guy supposed to exist? A central America jungle?
I live halfway between Houston and Galveston. As is typical, Matt is spot-on accurate about the heat and humidity here. And a special thanks to Matt for solving one mystery for me. I have always wondered what that greasy spot is outside of Buc-ee's (technically, it's in Texas City, but it's on I-45 on the way to Galveston so Matt gets a pass). Love your work!!
In my native southern CA, I was the one who never gets bitten, the one who never stops sweating and a SoCal version of the one from Texas. Since moving to Middle TN, I’ve been a target of all biting bugs except mosquitoes (go figure 🤷♂️) and an even more profuse perspirer because of the humidity. But I’m still the only one out in the sun not complaining about the heat; we’re hitting 90s and moderate humidity nowadays, and it’s a cakewalk. “Who said it’s hot?” 😆 The Hulk hands are hilarious! 😆
I was born in Washington state and always loved the rain, then I moved to Texas for a few years and that beautiful land converted me. I’m a Sun Child now. I’m in East TN now enjoying these sunny days :)
Mountain Dew - for whatever reason that’s what all these people have when they have a cooler. If you are in outer space and you open up the life support module, it will be filled with Mountain Dew
It's just so good and refreshing when it's hot outside. I think it's the fire retardant. Plus all the sugar counteracts the humidity...have you ever seen a sweaty hummingbird?

Maybe. But when it's 92 at 10 pm , I'll stay ruined and be grateful for it.
@@YSLRD Right on! :)
Just this past Memorial Day weekend, my husband took the kids to his dad's house in Indiana. The weather was actually pretty nice outside; pretty cool in the mornings. When I asked the kids how they slept, they said, TERRIBLE! It was almost 90 degrees in the house and Grandpa wouldn't let us open the windows or turn down the thermostat! My husband said it was probably 20 degrees cooler outside but his dad would not adjust the heat. One of my kids said he fell asleep while watching a movie and when he woke up he was drenched in sweat. 😂
We are spoiled rotten.
Didn't have a/c in the house till I was around 10 ( born in the 70's ) a single window unit in the kitchen, before then we had an attic fan. We would turn that sucker on and open all the windows in the house , was real nice at night, during the day even a hot breeze is better than none.
Forgot about the one that work in the old school kitchens. You don't know hot until you work with the 400 degree ovens. Sneak into the walk in cooler to take a breath of air.
Especially when the air conditioner breaks from overheating. Though, you don't know fresh air until you hop into the walk-in freezer! I actually work in a kitchen that the main portion was built in the 1950s.
we insisted our new car has cooling seats!! game changer 🙌. And Matt.....that country crock hat and that 1970s/80s brown chair (that makes me sweat looking at it) is cracking me up!!
I thought the same!!! Everybody's grandparents had one of chairs. Aaaaand I kinda want a country crock hat now😂
I'd like to see a southern vacation series where Matt details all the vacation spots in each of the southern states.
The humidity is what murders me.
Walking at night in Florida with no sun, but humidity just saps the energy out of me
Same here in Georgia…I lived in so cal for 64 years. Never experienced humidity like this here in Georgia. I can handle 100° in so cal, no problem. 80° with humidity here kicks my butt. And, every insect that bites finds me in seconds…my version of Dante’s rings of hell 😂😂😂😂😂 But I can say it’s really beautiful here, when it isn’t raining….😂😂❣️❣️
i've lived here my entire life bud you gotta get used to it 😂
Our AC unit breaks every alternating labor day weekend. We are in south Alabama down by mobile bay. The September heat with no AC is always fun.
My parents gave me a computer for Christmas 1982. I decided then to make this my profession. Hence, I’m with the smart one, staying inside.
But I paid my due with the warehouse worker on my way to where I am now. I don’t ever want to do that again; yet, I’m humbled with gratitude for those that still do. Making sure your family is taken care of, they may never know the suffering you deal with.
May God bless each one with a cool breeze each day.
❤
God is blessing us Texans with rain. Every single day this month 😂
@@chillmemes5865 No joke. My electric bill dropped 50% because of the rain.
Atari 2600 and the Tandy 4 from the Radio Shack sealed the deal for me. Later…the TRS-DOS 80 confirmed I’d made the right decision. Although learning Fortran almost made me doubt…for a minute in the late 80s.
I’m from Texas and your Texas guy is spot on! Ha ha
My father is a mechanic, and he used to work in a shop in Southeastern NC that didn't have air conditioning. (97-degree crazy-humid day next to hot machinery? Awesome.) Also: the Country Crock hat. 💯
You know that part in Lilo and Stitch where Pleakley encounters mosquitoes for the first time? Yeah, that's me the moment I step outside. My hubby never gets bit. Gonna have to get some of those hulk hands 👊😂
Down in Georgia we kinda just get to ignoring the heat but your sweat will drip in your eyes after 5 seconds of being outside from the humidity
“Do I wanna go outside? Where the sun lives?” I love it. I’m like that.
All of us in the Midwest aren't a whole lot different. Up here, there's always the person who claims that their "thermostat works just fine all the time," and they're never hot. They're the first to crank up the AC and then claim that it's" just for the company."
OMG! That Grandpa was so relatable. The thermostat is set on 82 in the peak of summer! I keep moving the temp down but he's on it immediately! It's actually cooler to sleep outside in the summer; at least there's a breeze.
The Yankee living in Dallas:
"It burrrrnssss! It BURNS usssss!!!"
This is me every summer.
Enjoy those rolling power outages that they're predicting for the Texas power grid.
@@margaretalbrecht4650
I 100% enjoy them.
I laugh my ass off when I hear about them. Me over here living on just solar.
I will never go back to paying an electric company for electricity.
I remember when I moved to Texas I was doing some yard work for my elderly neighbor and while I was on break she asked herself what the temperature was and she looked at the thermometer and went:
"Oh it's only 80."
I was baffled that someone would say 80 was a mild heat....
Today I'm sitting in my office and it's a nice comfortable 84.
In the office.
I was going to say, 80 Deg F is room temperature for some of us. As long as the humidity is OK.
Born and raised, 6th generation Texan. 80° is cool for May through September
I'm the walking, talking mosquito buffet. They love me.
Move to the desert no mosquitoes
No ticks
No humidity.
Oh and no water.
Lol
* The Southern steel mill workers of South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas laugh maniacally, then pass out while first responders bring ice packs and squincher ice pops.
I’m a warehouse worker in Ga, we all clammer outside for even a slight breeze!!
Same here, man... we joke about it, but at my job, it's 20 degrees hotter inside than outside. It's 91 atm outside, so that means it's 111 inside. What fresh hell is this.
Yea. This is accurate. I am from Texas and I tend to ware a jacket when it is less than 75 degrees. Because 80-85 is just a normal comfortable tempeture.
I have to carry a jacket with me to walmart. It'll be 110F outside and inside of walmart it's 65F and the whiplash is real.
Same, except from GA
The Floridian: "Hurry up guys, it's 2:30. We gotta get our stuff done before the 3:00 thunderst... Dang, it came early today"
I welcome the storms. It's the only chance at cool air that we have. What I hate is where it's a big splat of rain and then the sun comes back to evaporate it all and it gets even more humid. But a high storm bringing the colder air down from the upper levels followed by a long drenching rain that cools everything off and lasts until the sun is low...that's a nice summer storm.
brother you do not know how pissed off i am right now i went to the beach at noon because they said rain at 2, and i wasn't there more than 15 minutes before it started pouring 😭
This is beautiful, Matt!
Every one of these personalities is spot on. That teenager "...embarassed because you. Exist." 😅
I grew up, and live, in Michigan. I went to Miami once in June. Once. I have to go to Vegas on business (yes, really) this July. It was a pleasure knowing “y’all.”
I love the Birmingham Southern College baseball t-shirt. Great touch and nice homage to their run in the DIII World Series after the school had closed for good.
That chair! Nostalgia. Everyone had a set of grandparents with a living room set in that fabric.
It’s all about the humidity, it’s only 81° here, but the humidity is at 59%
that’s a reasonably comfortable day in South Carolina.
I'm about 30 minutes from Galveston Texas. It's 90 degrees and the humidity is sitting at 68%.
@@downsouthlouisiana so, mildly uncomfortable. 81F and 59% is well below normal for summer.
@@downsouthlouisiana today’s humidity average is 69%
I'm in the Delta of Arkansas. It's 89 degrees here in the shade with 60%, so not bad today.
The Smart One - I love the grandma crochet Freddy Kruger color blanket.
Thanks for hitting that no-bit guy. Always one on every hike, grinnin'.
Matt always calls it like it is and I love it (btw I'm the "One from Texas). His videos never fail to make my day better!
i'm the one that always brings a cooler, the heat hater, and the walking mosquito buffet all at the same time while also wishing i was the smart one
The Texas guy and Grandpa guy hits home. Reminds me of visiting my Grandma during the 90s in south Texas where she had no air conditioning.
Thanks Matt. This one was truly spot on.🤣🤣
I am both from Texas and the Smart One. I don't go out unless it's late evening or night, otherwise I'm indoors waiting for the seasons to change to the only other one available.
As a high school teacher I can relate to the hoodie. "it's hot in here" Well take of the sweatshirt." Class room is at 68 degrees.
The Warehouse worker one got me.
I'm a welder in a big shop, and with the amount of rain we've been getting in combination with the heat, it has been miserable
The one from Texas reminds me of my papaw 😂, he lived in Austin and loved to drive to the bucee’s in new braunfels and just and spend the day there, eat lunch and dinner and drive back to Austin around 7 pm. He once said he was friends with the bucee’s mascot and he saw passed out in the middle of the day 😂🤣
As “the one from Texas” currently visiting family in North Carolina, I gotta say you nailed it.
I'm the one from Texas, except I'm from Alabama and live in Virginia. I was literally just telling my husband yesterday that every time I go outside I still can't believe it's only 85. I truly enjoy the mild summers up here lol
1:06 😆 I’ve heard this recently with one if my teens. It’s over 90 degrees where we are. 🤦♀️
Matt I’m from Southwest Alabama so I can sympathize. I’m definitely the heat hater.
Keep up the great work.
I like the T-shirt Texas was wearing. I never hunted in Morris, but I used to catch a mess of fish there. I need to sneak up there and give Turkey Creek a try.
I’m the sweater. 😂🤣 I ran into a Pepsi guy giving away Gatorade towels last year. I keep a few in the trunk now.😂
The Jimmy Buffet shirt! LOL
And that chair from the 1980s! LOL
You ALWAYS have the best props.
The country crock hat on the grandpa had me rolling!!! 😂 mee maw had a dozen of them containers in the fridge growing up and only one still had butter in it!!!!
The snooty ppl had Tupperware!
Matt I just love you!!! Even when my day is like driving on a dirt road with hemorrhoids, I just watch one of your videos and it brightens my day right up!!!!
Aging Gen-Xer here, born and raised in Atlanta, GA.
The house I grew up was built in 1969 and it didn’t have central A/C until I believe my senior year in high school.
We had an attic fan, which was a marvel of Southern engineering. It only works in a room with a window open either before the sun comes up or after the sun goes down. Anytime else was basically a blast furnace.
Never bothered Mom much. She grew up in Panama City. Without air conditioning.
OMG, I AM THE ONE WHO DON'T GET BIT! While on a short deployment to South America, I kept wondering why people were waving all the time. Turns out, they were swiping at bugs. 😂😂😂
If I am the only one around, I will be bit. If there are other people around, they usually do not touch me.
You are brave disclaiming this. I’m the one who always gets bit and then uses the Hulk hands to the face of the people talking about how they never get bit 🤣
Envy, really.
@@mikeallison5549 I don't go around pointing it out. That would be mean. 😂
@@asdisskagen6487you just did!!!! I need my hulk hands…….
As a southerner who is DREADING mowing 5 yards this Saturday when it's 98 degrees, this hits too close to home.
And no, I won't be that yard worker guy trying to act like it ain't that hot.
I'm the dude who hasn't stopped sweating since 1992. I'm always drenched.
Awesome job sir. So accurate.
The chair in "The Smart One" has got to be the star of the video.! Now THAT is a survivor.
And. the added touch - Grandma's hand crocheted afghan across the back.
@@patchdavis35 A classic.
KY here. I made the list as the mosquito blood bag lol. Doesn't have to be a mosquito though, any biting stinging vampire bug will do the trick.
I’m the walking mosquito buffet. Those sob’s love me
Your videos are so chill, always brightens my day
I have been most of these at different parts of my life. Right now I'm the gadget guy. Went to bonnaroo music fest with a cooling towel, neck fan, and a little fan that clipped to my cot
The Grandpa one is spot on...and I'm the sweater that hasn't stopped sweating since March of 1992.
And my son is the teenager with hoodie in summer...I don't understand it. We aren't even in the South, he has no real concept of hot and humid.
That chair for "The Smart One" My grandma had a chair exactly like that from the 1980s/70s. Fun fact, that fabric used to be white with designs on it.
😂 Roll Tide 😂 I love how you sneak that in on every video 😂
I'm definitely the first one! The 2 neck fans and 2 golf-size umbrellas in my car confirms this!
I can relate to the warehouse. I worked in one all through HS and college zero ventilation or breezes. And that was up North in New England.
I complained at one, why even bother having walls.
Pyro-Patriot here. Used to keep a big bag in the closet to shoot year round. I miss living in the country.
Texan here. I'd add the inexplicably cold hoodie guy. It'll be 105F at 100% humidity and he's got that hoodie up and his hands in the pouch. Heavy blue jeans and a cap. Where is this guy supposed to exist? A central America jungle?
Rotating between three of these. Even playing the smart one can't stop the mosquitos coming in the house after me.
I'm The Hibernator! From June to November it's shut-in time!
Lol. Me too!!
Staying indoors, leave only to go to work and then back home. Best time to do grocery shopping is after 8 pm
Im so happy you went out on your own. Pure gold
I live halfway between Houston and Galveston. As is typical, Matt is spot-on accurate about the heat and humidity here. And a special thanks to Matt for solving one mystery for me. I have always wondered what that greasy spot is outside of Buc-ee's (technically, it's in Texas City, but it's on I-45 on the way to Galveston so Matt gets a pass). Love your work!!
Anywhere on I-45 is a genuine threat to life and property. Here in Conroe it gets to southeast Asia conditions every summer.
My dad brought an igloo cooler everywhere! Instead of Mountain Dew it had actual coke and light beer. Always!
😂 love all the wardrobe changes! After ten minutes outside you need fresh clothes.
Exactly lol. I can take a shower in the summer in alabama and feel nasty 10 minutes later lol.
In my native southern CA, I was the one who never gets bitten, the one who never stops sweating and a SoCal version of the one from Texas. Since moving to Middle TN, I’ve been a target of all biting bugs except mosquitoes (go figure 🤷♂️) and an even more profuse perspirer because of the humidity. But I’m still the only one out in the sun not complaining about the heat; we’re hitting 90s and moderate humidity nowadays, and it’s a cakewalk. “Who said it’s hot?” 😆
The Hulk hands are hilarious! 😆
I was born in Washington state and always loved the rain, then I moved to Texas for a few years and that beautiful land converted me. I’m a Sun Child now. I’m in East TN now enjoying these sunny days :)
The Country Crock hat was hilarious 😂
Former wholesale greenhouse employee here. A lovely 114 for days😂. Mosquitoes are smart enough to stay away from me otherwise they will be smooshed 😂
Combo of the "heat heater" and the "smart one" 🤣 But I also hate how COLD it can get in winter. Let me know when spring or fall FINALLY arrives 🤣🤣🤣
You are a Jedi Master of the South. Love your work!!
I'm a mix of grandpa and the one who doesn't go outside.
As a sweater. I need to try that sponge ringer method.
That why I moved to a place with no humidity.
Speaking of Buc-ees. My little city of Lafayette Louisiana is getting one! Man, I'm gonna be so broke!
Thanks!
Welcome!
My husband is a big proponent of SPF-Roof.
Ever since I moved to Missouri I get cold in there summer nights that get into the 60s or low 70s so I got a sleeveless hoodie for that
Mountain Dew - for whatever reason that’s what all these people have when they have a cooler. If you are in outer space and you open up the life support module, it will be filled with Mountain Dew
It's just so good and refreshing when it's hot outside. I think it's the fire retardant.
Plus all the sugar counteracts the humidity...have you ever seen a sweaty hummingbird?
"it won't matter either way, they'll still get me." I have said that exact sentence so many times in my life 😂
I needed these laughs today. I just had to say goodbye to my furbaby.
I’m sorry for you loss
My goodness, I’m so sorry for your loss, sending all the love and prayers your way🤍
😮😢
I’m so sorry. Hugs to you.
I’m so sorry for you’re loss, as I’m watching this and reading your comment I’m out with my dog, he may be an ass sometimes but I love him
